I don't want to say much because I don't wanna start crying...so I'll just post a few pictures. I know that the majority of you know exactly what my mom meant to me...especially those of you who went through her last month of life with me. I can't even imagine how much pain I'll feel on Mother's Day if I'm hurting BAD on her birthday. Ok....I'll stop...I already feel the knot in my throat and the pounding in my chest.

I do want to say something though before I end it here...to all of you still fortunate to have your mothers...love them...a lot! Hug them and kiss them any time you get because once that mother is gone...you will never have those moments. You don't know how much I wish I had my mom still to give her more hugs and more kisses than what I gave her when she was around. Even if you're not close to your mother...get close now before it's too late. I don't know how that feels...but I do know how my brother and sister feel...you don't wanna feel that regret.

Happy Birthday Gabby's Mom!!
Aaww Gabby what a beautiful mother you have! I love the one of her and Lizzie! You know your mom and my mother in law passed away within one day of eachother,they are exactely 10 years apart and their birthdays are within a month of eachother.
It's a hard thing to grasp..they are there one minute and taken from you so quickly. Sending a big hug your way.
Oh man, I have a HUGE lump in my throat. Your mom looked like the life of the party. She had a great smile and I can just feel the love in your words as you remember her. Thank you for reminding me to love my mom more and to let her get close and give her hugs. Sometimes I put up that wall and I don't know why, but I want her to know I love her now while she's here with us rather than go thru that regret. *sigh* So, thanks and I'll be sure to give her a big hug when she gets home tonight.
Oh happy birthday to your Mom. You know she's partying up there in heaven!! Big hugs to you my friend. I loved looking at the pictures. Thanks for sharing that glimpse into your life. Your mom looks like she was a blast!! Pic 4 of you and your mother... I thought that was Lizzie before I'd read it was you!!
happy birthday to you Mom, Gabby! It will take a few birthdays and Mother's Days, but over time you will be able to celebrate these days with Happiness. You're on the right track; keep remembering the happy times and rejoice that your mom is celebrating too!
Your mom is wrapped in you love right now.
Big Hugs to you! And thank you for sharing those lovely pictures and reminding us to reach out to loved ones while we have the chance. :-)Traci
I dont have my mom either. I know how you feel. Your words about loving them while they are here are so true.
Gabby,
Thank you for sharing your mama with us. I love the pics you posted. The one of her in the pool with the green frog on her shoulder freaked me out a bit, though!
I am blessed that I still have my mom. She only lives an hour away but I don't get to see her or my Dad often enough.
Happy Birthday to Your Mama Gabby!
You never get over losing your Mum but the pain gets better as time goes by!
Be brave Gabby and hold in there.
Always say Happy Birthday to my Momma, still miss her after 20 years.
God bless our beautiful Mothers!
